Earthing or grounding – the act of walking barefoot on the earth whether it be sand, dirt or grass – is good for health. Having direct skin contact with the earth (with your body – feet, legs, hands, etc) creates an electrical connection to the ground. This is said to produce a healing effect down to the cellular level.
Research shows grounding may play a profoundly beneficial role in sleep disturbances, stress relief, pain relief, heart rhythm, and immune response (Organic Live Food).
